Ruth Ann and listers, Are you aware that there are 2 Histories of Saratoga County by Sylvester? I wasn't until I ordered one and received not the version I have seen in libraries originally published in 1878 and now indexed, but the 1893 version, a completely different text of 638 pages. It is titled "The History of Saratoga County, New York, With Historical Notes on Its Various Towns by Nathanial Bartlett Sylvester, Together With Biographical Sketches of its Prominent Men and Leading Citizens, Prepared by Samuel T. Wiley and W. Scott Garner" (reprinted by Higginson Book Company). It is not indexed but has several pages of Contents, historical and biograhical. The one online is the 1878 text which was later reprinted by Heart of the Lakes Publishing. Hope this helps. Pat Blackwell

Steve Cromer Funny, but there are lot of Cramers in the History of Saratoga Co. by Sylvester. The only match I found of a name is Ann Cramer, Pg 506 in the Town of Saratoga. It reads: Philip Cramer, son of George and Anna Cramr, b Saratoga Co., NY 1795, Farmer, P. O. Quaker Springs.

Hi, My name is Steve Cromer. I am a descendant of Christian Cramer. He is my Great Great Great Great Grandfather. He appears in Montgomery County in 1778, but I have no information about him before this. I suspect that he was living in Saratoga County before moving to Montgomery County in 1778. I would really like to know about Christian, since this is my surname line. I know he was married to Margaret Krems/Gramps/Krembs on 18 Sep 1787 in the Stone Arabia Dutch Reformed Church, Stone Arabia, Montgomery County, New York. I am pretty sure that Margaret descends from the EMPIE line. I have no additional information on them, except that they had three children: Peter Cramer Born 14 Aug 1791 Palatine, New York (I descend from this line) Anna Cramer Born 26 Feb 1793 Christian Cramer Jr. Born 13 Nov 1789 Stone Arabia, New York I am also working on the following lines: CRAMER, CROMER, KREMS, GRAMPS, EMPIE, WEAVER, CLAUS, CURTIN, SMITH, YOUKER, CRETSER, COOL, CLEMONS, WERTZ, GLEASON, CROUSE, COOLMAN Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve Cromer [email protected]

Hello All, Below is an email of which is great concern to fellow genealogists - if not objected to, NARA will increase the cost of military pensions to $40 per request - the current fee is $10.

Hello list members Are you still missing the piece to the puzzle that you have spent years searching for? Is someone out there with the answer but cannot connect with you because you have not updated your email address on some list somewhere? I have sent messages to all of the people who are on the Saratoga GenWebPage in the Surname list and invited them to add their Saratoga Area Surnames to the annual printed list that Heritage Hunters publishes. This list goes to our members, many of which do not have computers so we also need mailing address for this list. In the past few weeks, there have been well over 500 messages back and forth including the NON-Delivered mails returned. I have sent those out again as they are not always valid and some do go through. You would not believe how many have bounced as incorrect email addresses. If this is happening with the Saratoga GenWebPage, how many other places have these people placed their email address and not updated with the newer one? Have you changed your email address and not followed up with this need everywhere? Are you missing that person who holds that missing piece to your puzzle? If you have communicated with Ruth Ann in the recent past, I am gradually getting all of these caught up. Some need more communication than others. There are still people who have not responded to our invitation to send in their surnames and Sue and I are working on the few hundred that have responded. In the past 4 days, I have reduced my 900 messages to 500. If you have received a message from me more than once or twice, it is only that I cannot remember all of the messages that have gone through my email in the past few weeks(over 500). Sorry. Would rather hit you more than once than miss your surnames altogether. The big problem is that my email address has NO E in the word unlimitd and that is a #1 right after it and not a lower case L <[email protected]> Sue Hummels is a all lower case <[email protected]> and some have typed that incorrectly also. FUN CITY!!! Please check your Surnames and Queries on the Saratoga Page and if corrections are in order, follow Lynn Calvin's instructions so he can get your information corrected. It is really frustrating to handle these projects and we are all volunteers trying to offer the best help that is possible. Our help to you is only as good as what you supply us.

This is an urgent call to all those lost lines out there. A project of updating THE SWARTWOUT CHRONICLES is full gear. If you have them in your line and lost the link. Even better their lines left out of the Original Chronicles, please submit them for the Updated version. There is no author as we all take credit for each of our own lines. Come on folks, it won't cost a penny and you could help someone find their roots. Just send in you lines and you get all the credit for it. Also LABOR DAY WEEKEND IS REUNION TIME!!!!! And this year is a real biggy! It will be held in Geneva, New York. Why is it so important? As of the year 2002 the Swartwout family will have been in North America 350 years. A big head count t the reunion will guarantee us of a place in history, by the Swartwout name getting honorable mention in the Senate and put into the minutes. We have a lot to lose by not showing up. Kathy Hoeldke [email protected]
